Sheltair has initiated an upgrade project of more than $2 million on its two FBOs in Florida’s Tampa Bay area. At its Tampa International Airport (KTPA) location, the Florida-based chain recently completed a $26 million hangar expansion, and it has now turned its attention to the interior of the location—a perennial top-tier-rated facility in AIN’s annual FBO survey.
The work there involves the expansion of the entry lobby to provide more guest seating through the relocation of the flight planning area and the smaller conference room. As well, a redesigned customer service desk, back-counter check-in area, and designated mail room were added. It also included new restrooms; an expanded, open floor plan conference room with a wet bar and lounge seating; motorized recliners in the pilot lounge; and updated wall coverings, carpeting, and tile flooring.
Upgrades at the company’s St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport (KPIE) location focused on its two-story atrium lobby, which has a central staircase leading to the second-floor offices, including a refurbished conference room. Downstairs improvements saw the renovation of the pilot lounge and flight planning areas, along with the addition of a lobby coffee bar and a customer service manager's office next to the reception area.
“We value all our customers and always want them to feel comfortable about flying into a Sheltair FBO,” said company CEO and president Lisa Holland. “That’s why we’re continuously investing in our facilities to better serve our guests as a premier gateway to the markets that Sheltair serves.”
